Product Overview

Zinc Sulfate Solution (Specific Gravity 1.180) is a laboratory-prepared aqueous solution used in fecal flotation techniques for the concentration and recovery of protozoan cysts, helminth ova, and larvae from stool specimens. With its carefully calibrated specific gravity of 1.180, this solution enables lighter parasite elements to float while denser debris settles, allowing for clearer and more efficient microscopic examination.

It is especially effective for recovering delicate organisms such as:

• Giardia lamblia cysts
• Entamoeba histolytica cysts
• Nematode and cestode eggs
• Coccidian oocysts

Zinc sulfate flotation is a preferred method in veterinary parasitology, public health labs, and clinical diagnostic settings, due to its high recovery rate and low distortion of parasite morphology.

Key Features:

• Formulated with specific gravity 1.180 for optimal flotation of parasitic elements
• Enhances recovery of protozoan cysts, helminth eggs, and larvae
• Provides cleaner microscopic fields with minimal background debris
• Suitable for routine ova and parasite (O&P) exams in clinical and veterinary labs
• Compatible with centrifugal flotation and passive flotation techniques
• Supports accurate diagnosis of intestinal parasitic infections

Zinc Sulfate Solution (SG 1.180) is a reliable and widely accepted tool in parasitology, providing sensitive, morphology-preserving flotation for efficient parasite detection and diagnostic clarity.
